Timber Technology Bulletin 46 Identification and utilization of lesser-known commercial timbers in Peninsular Malaysia 10: meraga, merbau kera, merbau lalat and minyak berok
This article provides both anatomical features and photomacrographs of the timbers described so as to help in the identification. It covers four lesser-known timbers, namely, meraga, merbau kera, merbau lalat and minyak berok. They may be small in size and with deformed stems but once they are harvested, they should be used to the fullest to ensure efficient use of the forest resources.

Pocket Check List of Timber Trees
This book represents K. M. Kochummen's last major effort in the field of plant taxonomy before his demise in March 1999. It covers dipterocarp trees, non-dipterocarp trees, vegetative characters useful for identification of forest trees of Peninsular Malaysia, keys to non-dipterocarps, regeneration sampling list of 1974, index to scientific names and glossary. The present edition, which also includes some botanical name changes and corrections as well as colour prints of trees, will be a valuable reference for botanists and students.

Foresters’ Manual of Dipterocarps
C. F. Symington’s classic Foresters’ Manual of Dipterocarps; completed just before the Second World War, was one of the few English language publications produced during the Japanese occupation. The book has remained a classic, with an enhanced reprint produced in 1974. This has long since gone out of print. Professor Peter Ashton and Dr. Appanah have now fully revised and updated this volume to include all the latest discoveries. It is unlikely to be superseded as the definitive publication on the dipterocarps of West Malaysia for many years.
